No im totally following your argument I just think opposite. Hardcore fans would entertain the idea breifly but the general population not so much. Pretty simple, your argument isn't really complex at all you just have an issue with disagreement it seems.I don't think you're seeing the fallacy here. You're making clear that you would watch while stating that people who are even less invested in the specifics of the character wouldn't watch it. See my above laughing figure.
Sure it does. That's the point of something being fiction, that it can be easily changed.
Not unless you want to ruin the franchise I'm afraid.
Not ethnically Scottish, no.So...still Scottish then.
And Bond hasn't been the same since he was created. You literally mentioned a reboot that fiddled with his backstory while claiming that the character remains unchanged. ??
When Flemming creates Bond he was modelled after himself and a singer from that time. When Connery was cast as Bond he changed the story so that he would be an ethnic Scott. The look of Bond has been the same until Craig was cast. The writer himself set the bar and then Connery raised it a little. So the story has changed according to the creators wishes but not really the look.
No one cared. Name one element of the Bond movies that cannot be put on screen if Bond ceased to be white.
No one is claiming it cannot be put on screen. The I'm claiming it would cease to be Bond.
The franchise is dependent on the character we all know and love and he's white. The look we associate him with will be ruined if we dramatically change his appearance.Nope, couldn't care care less what race he is. I just make a point of highlighting the absurdity of insisting that a fictional character with a fictional history cannot have his/her fictional race changed. Especially one where the race of the character plays no role in the actual stories being told.
